Determined to accept Li Mengxi's persuasion, Valen Ashtenin had a long discussion with Li Mengxi and Williams about what to do. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

By the time everything had been discussed, it was already afternoon. After saying goodbye, Valen went back to his hotel in the northern district. With so much to digest, he rarely ignored the concerns of his companions and locked himself in his room alone to think.

And he thought about it for a whole afternoon.

After thinking about it, Valen felt that Li Mengxi's plan was indeed a little unpleasant, and it could even be said to be a little despicable, but the starting point was good, and there was really no evil part in the process.

Then, rather than exposing it and causing a bigger riot, it may be better to cooperate with them to complete this plan.

The question is, will this plan really establish the order that Li Mengxi said in the end? Or will it become a world dominated by powerful people who threaten everyone like themselves.

Valen's real concern is this.

If you think about it this way, maybe a temporary riot, even if there is a war, is not a bad thing. However, as Li Mengxi said, even if the fight starts, I'm afraid my side will not win.

Valen thought this not because of the army of 1839 people, but because once the war started, there was Li Mengxi on the other side. Li Mengxi is too powerful, his strength is naturally superhuman, and his intelligence is far from being comparable.

In fact, if it weren't for Li Mengxi's choice to say everything today, Valen felt that he would probably be kept in the dark from beginning to end, and acted according to their arrangement in a daze

As soon as he thought of this, Valen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he thought of one thing. That was what Li Mengxi said at the beginning of that conversation: I want you to be a chess player, not a chess piece.

The implicit meaning of this sentence is that as long as Li Mengxi wants to, Valen will become a chess piece.

In other words, it is not "very likely", but if Li Mengxi doesn't say it today, Valen will be unknowingly used as a pawn, helping them achieve their goals without knowing it, just like a prop without will.

Now that he knew everything, looking back and thinking about this possibility, Valen couldn't help but be so frightened that his whole body was cold. Then, he realized a problem.

This kind of practice must not be very comfortable for himself, but it is very convenient for Li Mengxi.

So why didn't Li Mengxi simply do this, but chose the way today. Didn't he think about the situation that even if he agreed at the time, he would probably come up with another answer after thinking about it by himself like this later?

No! Li Mengxi could never have thought about it. That's what the people on their side mean as soon as they attack the Eastern District, and they can kill the people who come over to ask the master and think about the guilt.

Therefore, Valen believes that Li Mengxi still did this when he considered that he might change his mind.

The reason for this deliberate move to increase the risk of the plan, Valen felt that there was no other thing that must be the word "friend". Li Mengxi also said at that time that he regarded himself as a real friend, so this must be believing that he could understand his thoughts as his friend and could help him.

To betray a careerist, Valen won't even blink. But he would never have betrayed his friend's expectations and trust.

As for whether this plan can establish the kind of order in Li Mengxi's mouth in the end?

If the other party can trust you, why can't you trust the other person?

In this way, after some struggle in his head, Valen finally broke through the confusion and made up his mind. He left the hotel and went straight to the headquarters of the Resistance, where, for the first time, he used his rightful authority as a leader to summon all the "big men" of the Resistance to inform them of the astonishing fact.

At the same time, in the school grounds of the garrison fortress, Williams, who had also thought a lot and was determined, also summoned all the garrisons and announced the same thing.

"On the outcome of today's negotiations. Valen looked at the guild leaders in front of him, who had never taken him seriously, and plucked up the courage to say in a deep voice with the demeanor of a leader, "I'm sorry to tell you that it's broken. We both have things that we can't back from. ”

And so it was. ”

"Then there is only one way to fight to the end!"

"No!" Williams said in a strong voice above the school grounds, overlooking the noisy crowd, "War is enough!"

"It's just a fight. Valen smiled.

At the same time, in different places, both the rebels and the garrison showed puzzled expressions.

Immediately, the two leaders said two words that made people's hearts tremble.

"Duel. ”

"But is it true that as long as you hear the word duel, everyone will have the feeling that the situation is out of control?"

During the conversation at dinner, Nane Hinata asked in disbelief.

"Hmm. However, Li Mengxi, who was sitting across the table, nodded quite confidently, "Duel, from the pronunciation of these two words to the culture behind them, gives people a rather oppressive feeling. ”

"I think it seems to have originated in Europe as an old social custom that scholars call barbarism. ”

"Hmm. But that's not all. Duel is a method that has been used throughout human society since the time of early Homo sapiens. ”

"At that time, I didn't even have the concept of a duel, did I?"

"There is no concept but there are facts. It is important to know that human beings are very weak creatures, especially when civilization is not developed. ”

"Hey!" Nayin chuckled, "You actually have the face to say the word 'weak'?"

"Uh...... I'm actually just a little bit more capable of learning, which means that my strength is ultimately the accumulation of my predecessors, and if it weren't for the superhuman attributes given by the system in the game, it wouldn't have come to this point. Anyway, we're not talking about that right now. ”

"As soon as you find that it is not good for you, you immediately change the subject. ”

"It's ...... you're okay or not"

"It's okay to do this kind of thing, you can go on quickly, I'm curious. ”

"Alas. In short, human beings are weak, so they understand that they can't live without unity. And the act of dueling is actually against this law of human existence. ”

"Really?"

"yes. Duel, as you just said, the definition of the word, as you just said, is based on the old European custom, and this is because this custom is the embodiment of duel. It's not a tiebreaker, it's life and death. The two sides that cannot compromise must reach a consensus in the form of completely eliminating the other party. That is, the result will definitely be at least one death. And one of the basic rules of solidarity is to gather as many people as possible. Therefore, this kind of behavior of reducing the population by oneself is contrary to unity. For primitive man, this is tantamount to weakening the advantage of his own species in the competition for survival, and in some cases one less person may mean collective destruction. ”

"Judging from the situation of primitive people, this is indeed the case, but what is the relationship between this and the present?"

"Legacy. In the time of primitive man, a single duel could have destroyed a community, and this state of affairs lasted not more than a few centuries at the longest as in the tribes and nations of modern people, but for thousands of years. If you use something, you will probably destroy everyone. So when do you think this thing should be used? Of course, there's no option to throw it away. ”

"Hmm......" Naine thought for a moment, frowning, "It's really not going to work." ”

"Yes, for primitive people, duels are such a means of solving problems that can only be used when they are really not working. And then this consensus was maintained in the population for thousands of years. And after the primitive man evolved step by step, we are what we are now. ”

"That's what you call inheritance. ”

"Hmm. From that era, dueling meant irreconcilable contradictions, the last resort, destruction. These have been passed down intact to the present day, through literature, art, textbooks, and so on. The proof is that when two people quarrel over something and get into a fight, the most common thing they say is 'kill you' and 'kill you', but even if they say the word 'death', few people will say 'I'm going to duel you'. ”

"Hearing you say that, it is. But isn't this because of cultural differences, or simply because I'm too second-class, and I'm embarrassed?"

"So, you can think like this, such a second year has done everything, isn't the situation serious?"

"I said you......" Today they ate steak, so Nain directly raised the knife.

"I'm kidding!" Li Mengxi hurriedly explained.

Hearing him beg for mercy, Naine returned his hand and cut the knife into the steak.

However, if you think about it calmly, everyone can understand that even if Valen Ashtenin and Williams, the two of them can't actually decide anything in the end. This is not a war between the two of them. ”

"That's all it takes. If the duel does come to an end, that's fine. And in order to make this duel end without a hitch, we need Richard and them to stage a 'return of the king' drama at that time. ”

"I also hope that by then everything will be over and then it will get better. However, in this civil war, there are already victims on both sides. Can the hatred and anger between them really be so easily quelled?"

"Definitely. I promise!"

Just throw out the living sacrifice. When the time comes, not only everyone's anger and hatred, but also mine, will be subsided.

Li Mengxi laughed unconsciously—the smile of the Demon King.
